Rider Haggard. author of "She" etc
is wonderful story of adventure,
as are all of this renowned authors
productions. The otlier stories, ar
ticles,and general information on
household matters are too numer-
ous to mention. The Magazine has
taken firm stand ON the Prohibi-

Whence the Necessity.

We are informed that his honor,
the Mayor has lately appointed one
or more special policemen, and
wlthou, inquiring at the present,
into the character and qualifications
of the recent appointees, we would
like to know what emergency has
arisen to make the appointment of
additional policemen necessary.
Has lawlessness, violence or
rowdyism increased to such an ex-
tent that the regular force have
been wholly unable to control it, or
have the regulars failed to perform
their duty?
Vt certainly cannot be for the first
reason, or there would be open and
general complaint and fit be for
the second, then the proper reme-
dy IL to remove the present police
and 'fill their place with those who
will, untiinchipgly perform their
duties III neither of the above reas-
ons exist, there is no occasion for
the appointment except the whim
Of the Mayor, and whims will not
pass muster in law.
Then, it is said, that the appoint
ment was kept secret, and the
duties assigned were secret alsoj
and here again the citizen has Il
right to protest. In governments
like ours, no power exists in the
rnagistrate save such as " clearly
kjYsp by written law

A NEW code of weather signals
went into effect the first of March
The new cCde is much simpler
than the old one and is as follows:
A square white flag will signify
clear or fair weather. A square
blue flag will signify rain or snow.
A triangular black flag is used for
temperature indications. When
placed above the square flag it will
signify higher temperature or
warmer weather; when placed be-
low the square flag it will signify
."wer temperature or colder wealth
er. a square white flag with a
black square will signify a cold
wave. This is the present cold
wave signal and is retained.

He Didn't Count on the Plaster.

There is a young man living IN Co.
lumbus, @ood-looking fellow, who has
sweetheart out in the country a few
miles, and he spends two evenings in
every week in her society. A few nights
AGO he stayed to the usual hour, and as
he passed out the front door he discov-
cred that it was cloudy and dark. He
did not relish the idea of walking home
alone through the gloomy night, and
limited good deal to get an invitation
to remain, but it was not forthcoming.
But the young man was equal to the
emergency. Going down the steps he
artfully contrived to slip and fall gently
to the ground. Thereupon he quickly
set up tremendous groaning. The ruse
worked admirably. The girl screamed
and the men came and carried the young
man tendcrly into the house. Then he
was assisted to undress and deposited
in the spare room. He had barely begun
to chuckle over the success of the strata
gem when the girls mother put in an ap-
pearance, armed with Il mustard plaster 4
foot square. This she Immediately pro-
cceded to clap on the young mans
shoulders, where he incautiously located
the damage to his frame. Fortwo mortal
hours that woman sat by the bed. and
was not satisfied till she behc.d blister
an inch deep. The young man is now
reformed. C0lumbus COuruht.

A MilliOnaire'S Revenge.

1t is Mr.. Crocker's custom to ride
home from the railroad Offices in San
Francisco in the democratic street car
Any one who sees him le ming his weary
face on his large, gold-headed cane would
take him for deacon or philanthropist.
80 benevolent is his expression and so
immaculate his clerical looking k.tie !;
but the observer would be greatly mis-
taken Crockcr has the reputation OF
being the most merciless of all the
millionaires. .Somc idea of his character
may be gained from this incident. When
he bought the block on which his present
residence is built, the owner of one lot, a
stubborn German, at first refused to sell.
When his avarice became excited by the
mi lionaire's intent eagerness to buy, he
gradually increased his price after each
successive offer. Finally Crocker be-
came enraged and swore q mighty oath
that never while he lived would he buy
that property. So he built huge fence,
twenty-five feet high, around the house
and lot of the German. The latter soon
had to remove his house, and the fence,
somewhat reduced in height, still remains
to mark the millionaire's wrath, although
the German has been in his grave fol
several years. 'Crocker is regarded as
worth thirty millions, Of which much is
in real estate. - Cosmopolitan.

A CITY of Bicycles.

Washington is the city of bicycles,
saws correspondent of the Philadelphia
Rrrord. Its smooth streets make it the
best riding town in the world. There
are two or three tlourishing clubs,
"cycleries, where you can hire "bike"
or a ''trikc" by the hour, as though 1t
were livery stable hack, to say nothing
of hundreds of men and women who are
independent of the formal organizations.
Like bicyclers everywhere, Washing
tonians know that it is their business to
ret around pedestrians, and not the busi-
ness of the pedestrians to get away from
them. Therefore they regard bells rs
useless and lanterns as worse than USE
less, because their only effect is to make
the steering hard. But the triumvirate
of District Commissioners take differ
cut view. and among other municipal
regulations Just put in force, is one re-
ouirnr the bicyccrs to carry and use
both bells and lanterns. This regulation
reused indignation in the bicycler's
breast. lie complied with it the first
day by hanging dis ordant cow-bell on
his machine" and carrying q torch
lirht over his shoulder. Thus equipped.
he pandcd in large numbers up and
down in front of the residence of tho
Commissioners until he had worked off
his spleen. He has come down to the
regulation bell and lamp, however. He
annoyed himself the first day more than
he did the Commissioners.

Paupers in England and Wales.

The number of paupers in England
and Wales steadily declined during the
five weeks ended in April from TAP, 957
to 729, O9S. Indeed, since the fourth
week in January, when the number was
7SS, ,493, there has been continuous de-
cline, uninterrupted, save in the third
week in March, when there was slight
increase on the preceding week. The
number 500, 500 represents population
of 80. 3 in 1000 in a total estimated
population of 27,STO,5sG. This figure is
equal to that of the same period in 1884,
and slightly larger than for 1885 (25.9)
but it is smaller than any year since 1857.
In London with IN estimated population
of 1, 149, 543, the number at the end OF
April was 9G, G54, the five weeks in April
showing a constant decrease. This shows
a proportion of %. 1 in 1000, which is a
trife higher than that of any of the pre-
vious three years-for instance, 1885, the
lowest known, shows proportion of %,
and neither 1884 nor 1886 reached % in
1000. OF the total number of paupers
$50, O,S1G were indoor and 549, 1892 out
door: while in London the numbers were
Sc, O33, and &c, 621 indoor and outdoor,
respectively.-L0n0lon Times.

A Floral Follower of Man,

The prevalence of rather crude
aesthetic taste has lately made popular
the ox-cyed daisy, with other flowers Of
kindred race and history. One often sees
these daisies sold upon the street, and
they are worn in the button-hole; or
pinned to the breast. They are even
initiated by the artificial fiower-makers,
and worn in punches on ladies' bonnets.
The ancients showed better taste in
selecting for such uses only such flowers
as were fragrant, as well as conspicuous
or attractive by their color. The real
daisy has the advantage over this name
sake of the fields and the wayside in
more than one respect. Even its modesty
is more deli ghtful when we see the
white-weed staring about in open-eyed
wonder, or prospecting for new worlds to
conquer.
1t is surprising how the ox-eyed daisy
follows man into every part of the world
where he attempts to settle. 1t rivals
the dog in the faithfulness of its com.
panionsbip. 1t is quite at home in the
most northern fields on this continent
and in Europe, and it is equally content
in the tropics.
Mr.. Oliver found it upon the Mascarene
Islands in the Indian Ocean. With it,
in that most out-of.the- part of the
world, he found other plants which seep
to have travelled with it from our fields
and gardens. "We noticed" he says,
Gin the vicinity of the farmhouse, besides
the ox-eycd daisies, innumerable pansiess,
originally introduced as exotic curiosi-
ties, but which have now become weeds
to such an extent that they are perfect
pests. ~ Youths Companion.
